Sure, you're probably more knowledgeable about it than me. I was only observing that "things used to be better" is a constant theme and when one has nostalgia for a certain time, it's worth noting that people active then were reminiscing about an even earlier time.
Well sure, but all that seems to indicate to me is that things are always getting worse.

Every generation is always nostalgic for the time just before the current generation...
Eternal September is/was a usenet meme, not really having much relation to the world wide web.
